Molasses-Spice cookies

I made some pretty awesome cookies the other day. Dan isn't into chocolate much so I tried something different. I was told they tasted like a chewy ginger snap. Enjoy the recipe below! Let me know if you have any questions!

-2 cups of all purpse flour
-1.5 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp ground cinnamon
-.5 tsp of nutmeg
-pinch of salt
-1.5 cups of sugar
-1.5 sticks of butter
-1 egg
-1/4 cup of molasses

*preheat oven to 350 degrees
*In medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. In a shallow bowl place 1/2 cup of the sugar.
*With an electric mixer beat butter and remaining cup of sugar. Beat in egg and molasses. Reduce speed to low, gradually mix in dry ingredients, until a dough forms (DOUGH IS VERY STICKY!)
*Pinch off and roll dough into tablespoon size balls and roll the balls in the reserved sugar
*Arrange balls on baking sheets about 3 inches apart. Bake cookies one sheet at a time until edges are firm (about 10-15 minutes..you can bake the cookies all at once but they might not crack evenly).
*Allow to cool on cookie racks

ENJOY
